So long as I totally separate the 2, book and films. Peter Jackson's Hobbit will surely be a spectacle event and I'm sure the key scenes will be there (altered of course) but it will not be something comparable to Tolkien's hobbit other than the name on the films and book. There have been too many alterations for the 2 to be one and the same in any respect.
But as long as they are totally separate, which IMO they are, I'm excited too

yeah he used them interchangeably earlier on, however I'm pretty (but not 100%) that by the LOTR he referred to goblins as being a bit different to Orcs

It seems in PJ's films, all Goblins are Orcs, but not all Orcs are Goblins...
